Couldn't be better - I was traveling alone and recommended by a friend who had already done the tour with them. I want to say that I found the company very professional and the guides did everything possible so that we enjoyed our visit. Thank you very much for making my trip an unforgettable experience.

South Coast day out with Gunnar - We went on this tour with Gunnar who from the first moment we got there was enthusiastic and had a personality that made the tour interesting. There is a lot of driving involved for this tour and he presented funny little stories and information about areas and the nature in a fun way. He would answer any questions asked and seemed pleased that we were curious about his experiences and life living in Iceland.
We travelled with this company on 2 other excursions and they were good days out but Gunnar made this one the highlight of our trip. He took time to speak to everyone on the tour and get to know them a little especially during the lunch hour. Gunnar has a talent that would be suited to a travel show about Iceland on TV. The last personal touch was that he even got off the bus at our stop and thanked us for coming on the tour.

One of the Best Tours I've Ever Been On... - our driver Jac and guide Emmilea were fantastic... it was a long day - 9am to 7pm... but full of sights... information and folklore... Jac is a seasoned driver and considering the ice and white-out conditions we encountered... we never felt uneasy... and Emmilea is so personable and informative... peppered with lots of local folklore about elves and mythical creatures... she had me believing in them!
we stopped at a couple of waterfalls... a black sand beach and a glacier - all pretty awe-inspiring... they made sure to stop for coffee and bathroom breaks regularly - plus a lunch in Vik where we ate and shopped (at an outlet store)..
note to shoppers - everything you see in Reykjavik you'll see at this outlet store but cheaper than on laugavegur street...
if I could choose these two to be my guides again - I would... I can't say enough about the experience... it was a highlight of the trip!...

Ziggy and big daddy😎 - Amazing tour. Ziggy the guide was amazing, passionate and unbelievably knowledgeable. Really made me see why Icelandic people are as proud as they are about their beautiful country and heritage. Ayyyy ayyy ayyy, so but so relevant. Made me put my seatbelt on everytime he said it!!! Didn't see the northern lights but who cares when this country is as beautiful as it is!!! P.s we saw a sun halo. Very very very rare!!!

Stunning Iceland... - I have just returned to the hotel and thawed out from a day out in a deep freezer commonly known as Iceland. This is an eerily beautiful country and I have just completed a full days itinerary touring the south coast. I have never been on a coach type tour before so wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I have to say I have really enjoyed it. Both the tour guide and driver excelled themselves to make the day work, both full of enthusiasm and practical advice given the potentially dangerous conditions due to the weather. I would do this again and highly recommend it.

Keep hold of your hat - This is a full day south coast tour. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side and we were there in the middle of a storm. However, our tour guide made sure we did as much of the tour as we could despite this. We could not go to the glacier or to Vik but we still managed to go to black sand beach. It was so stormy we lost a hat. Luckily the storm settled down so we could get back and stopped to see another waterfall before returning to Reykjavík. Hats off to our tour guide who still made this tour worthwhile against all odds.
